I'll give this baby another chance to shine.

Taken with: SD700 IS
Brief Exif:
Manual Mode
30s exposure
Tripod
Neutral Color
10-Sec Self Timer (to reduce camera shake)

Being where I was standing is absolutely breathtaking. If anyone ever comes to Jersey, this George Washington Bridge lookout is the place to be!:)

Sorry for the horrible IQ, resizing this thing took a LOT out of the image. Blown up its a gem though!

This shot was taken last summer on a short family camping trip a few hours north of my home.

Well this will be my first contest submission so I am looking for feedback on the pic. This is the golf cart bridge leading to the first tee at the Highlands course at Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, ON. It was cropped down from the original which was taken with my fisheye (I love that lens) and the polorizer.

Some brief data:
S3 IS
Shutter 1/80
Aperture f4
Metering Evaluative

Photo is slightly noisy due to resizing to meet restrictions (I still dont know the 'proper' way to resize to under 200K).

Take a couple of summers back. This bridge is on an old train track that has been converted to a bike trail.

A620; f/4.1, 1/250, 29.2 mm, filtered by bus window; I'm told it's the world's oldest standing bridge.

This is a foot bridge over a small stream in the Oregon Cascade foothills.
I used my circular polarizer and a mini tripod to get this shot.

Canon S2IS
Manual Mode at 1 sec and F/5.0

Canon Powershot S2IS
f/3.5

ISO 100
Cropped to remove the not so traditional garbage pails

This shot was taken in a traditional Korean Folk Village in South Korea during a business trip. I would have loved to have taken a photo of the foot bridge but it was getting dark and the place was closing.

I'm sorry for not adding personal comments this time around. I have to leave in a bit. So here are my choices.

ThomasS with highlands bridge
t-bonestahl with monets bridge
snowrdr with foot bridge

All 3 above are excellent. I think we have a new winner.
ThomasS, it's your turn.
Thank you everyone for your entries.

[Jon]

Well done, all.

[Thomas S.]

Thank you very much OT. I want to also thank my boss for letting me go out to shoot while I was supposed to be working, otherwise this shot would never have happened. I do like getting paid to shoot photos, but only when Im supposed to be doing something else. LOL.

All kidding aside, I really LOVED t-bonestahl's Monet's bridge, the colours were awesome. It was my #1 pick. Thanks also to all the other entrants, very well done by all. This will be my first of many more photo contests to come.

Finally, OT, if you have the time I would like some feedback on the pictures. The only reason I entered this one was to get some feedback to learn from. (winning is also nice though).

[snowrdr]

Thanks OT for the 3rd place! :D
Congrats to Thomas and T-bone for their great entries.
EddS' Bike Bridge was also a favorite of mine.

[sw1977]

Congrats to winners. I began taking photographs on january, and I could not get a bridge still yet.

:)

[august23]

Thomas congrats man, well deserved. Can't ignore snowrdr's either though, thats a keeper too. Good job everyone.

[Thomas S.]

Thanks all ... posting new contest as we speak. It's difficult choosing contest topics. Sooo many choices. Hmmmmm

[t-bonestahl]

Congrats everybody. Thanks for the mention. Have a good week!
